“Yes, but T-Birds, Corvettes, Mustangs, Jaguar E-Type, and Lincoln Continentals are also easy to identify. ‘

You got some strange stuff for examples.

Mustangs are a dime a dozen where I live as rental cars. Cheap rental fleet crap.

T-birds? Those thing vanished fast. Marketed for geezers. Stupid market to go after.

Corvettes, OK, from the rarity. Only old fartes buy them to creep around in like it was a Priaps.

Jaguar maybe if you can find one. Had one as a rental in Honolulu and it was the goofiest car I have driven in since a Volvo. Hopefully all the motorized crap keeps working for thise that sucker into buying one.

Lincoln? Do not even know what they look like since they stopped having a hood like an aircraft carrier deck.

You are comparing 1960’s VW Beetles to the modern day Mustangs.
He was referring to the contemporary 1965 Mustang which stands out as much as those VWs.

I was responding to a post about identifying cars in old TV shows. When I said they were all more desirable, I was comparing to the desirability of the very identifying VW Beetle from the original poster.

So yes, the T-bird with its opera windows, the sporty Corvette, the distinctive Mustang that was a new look in 1964, the legendary Jaguar E-type immortalized in song, and the Lincoln Continental of the early 1960s with suicide doors ALL are easy to identify when watch Perry Mason (Paul Drake drove a T-bird), the Fugitive, or other shows with a lot of now classic cars. Check Post 4 for context.

Hahaha…….

You hit all the marks with those comments!

My reprobate 79 year old father in law drives around in a new mid engine Corvette. He couldn’t care less about anything other than asking waitresses if they want to ride in his car. He thinks he is some kind of Duke of Sedalia Missouri. He was never a “car guy” and has no idea why GM even built a mid engine Corvette. He smokes in it and it has mail scattered all over the dash and passenger seat. It is one of the most pathetic displays I’ve ever seen.
